Research Notes

Charles' mother, Elizabeth (Caryll) Smith's Father Sir John Caryll married Mary Dormer, daughter of Robert Dormer, 1st Baron Dormer of Wyng and Hon. Elizabeth Browne. He lived at South Harting, Sussex, England. So Charles' christening looks to be true.!!!

Viscount Carrington, of Burford in the Province of Connaught, was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1643 for Charles Smyth, 1st Baron Carrington of Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire. He had only a few days earlier been created Baron Carrington, of Wootton in the County of Warwick, in the Peerage of England.[1] His eldest son, Francis Smith, the second Viscount, served as Lord Lieutenant of Worcestershire from 1687 to 1689. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Charles Smith, the third Viscount. On his death in 1706 the titles became extinct.[2] (This Smyth family was unrelated to the Smith (later Carington) family who became Barons Carrington of the second and third creations.)

Charles died on 17 May 1706 and was buried in Wootton Wawen, Stratford-on-Avon District, Warwickshire, England.^[1] I think this just a memorial to him as Baron of Wootton Wawen.

Charles Smith, 3rd Viscount Carrington of Burford was born on 5 July 1635.1 He was the son of Charles Smyth, 1st Viscount Carrington of Burford and Elizabeth Caryll.1 He married Frances Pate, daughter of Sir John Pate, 1st and last Baronet. and Elizabeth Skipwith, on 11 February 1656/57 at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, London, EnglandG.1 He died on 11 May 1706 at age 70, without male issue.1 He was buried on 17 May 1706 at Ashby Folville, Leicestershire, EnglandG.1 His will (dated 8 May 1706) was proven (by probate) on 17 May 1706.1 He succeeded as the 3rd Viscount Carrington of Burford, in the Province of Connaught [I., 1643] circa April 1701.1 He succeeded as the 3rd Baron Carrington of Wotton, co. Warwick [E., 1643] circa April 1701.1 On his death, all of his titles became extinct.1 Citations [S6] G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A. Doubleday, Geoffrey H.

Wootton Wawen is a very extensive parish, about six miles from Stratford-onAvon ; the turnpike road from which town to Birmingham passes through the village. The name of Woottona (designating its once wooded situation) occurs in many counties of England, a fact not to be wondered at, recollecting the vast tracts of forest with which this island was anciently overspread : the distinguishing title Wawen is derived from Waga or Wagen, who held it prior to the Norman conquest. The lordship of Wootton was granted by the Conqueror to Robert de Statford or Stafford, and is thus entered in Domesday amongst his lands. The same Robert holds 7 hides in WOTONE. The arable is 9 ploughlands, there are 23 villeins with a priest, and 22 bordars having 6 ploughs. There are 2 mills of 11 shillings and 8 sticks of eels. The wood is 2 leagues long and 1 broad. It is valued at 4 pounds. Waga held it freely.

From the period of the Conquest, down to the reign of Hen. VIII. the noble family of Stafford continued lords of the soil ; till in the 13th of that Monarch's reign it was forfeited to the crown by the attainder of Edward Duke of Buckingham for high treason. It was again granted out by the king to Thomas Grey Marquis of Dorset, and again reverted to the Crown by the attainder of his son, Henry ¹ Duke of Suffolk. Sir John Grey then received it by grant from the Crown ( 2nd and 3rd Phil. and Mary) to himself, his wife Mary, and their heirs but shortly afterwards ( 1st Eliz. ) they sold it to Agnes Smyth, widow of Sir John Smyth, one of the Barons of the Exchequer. Another estate within this parish (though whether it was originally a distinct manor appears uncertain) was possessed by the family of Harewell, from the latter part of the 14th century to the reign of Hen. VIII. By the death of Thomas Harewell, Esq. (the last male heir) in the early part of that reign, this property devolved to his sister Agnes, fifth daughter and one of the co-heiresses of John Harewell, Esq. whose monument yet standing in the Chancel will presently be described : she married Sir John Smyth, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, and in conjunction with her son and heir, Francis Smyth, purchased the whole of the lordship, as has been just noticed. Charles Smyth, g-grandson to the above named Francis, was ( 31st Oct. 19 Chas. I. ) created Lord Carrington, Baroni of Wootton ; and on that Title becoming extinct, the estate became the property of his kinsman, Francis Carrington, Esq. Mr. Carrington left a daughter who became the wife of Peter Holford Esq. whose daughter was married to Sir Edward Smythe, Bart. of Acton Burnell, Co. Salop, father to Sir Edward Joseph Smythe, Bart. the present lord of the Manor. ^[2] North oftable.
